STICKING DUTY ON SUGAR.
Netherlands Product Will Have to Pay
at the Ports.
Washington, December 2.—The secretary
of the treasury today decided that tins
Netherlands government pays a bounty on
all raw and relined sugars exported Irom
that country, and hence, under tlie new
tariff act, ail sugars from the Netherlands
entering the United States is subject to a
discriminaTlng duty equal to tb" export
bounty paid. The exact rat*’ of this coun
tervailing duty has not yet been definitely
ascertained. Imt It is said it will approach
48 cents per hundred pounds on raw sugar
and a slight advance on these figures on
i e fined.
It is known that the secretary has also
come to tii*? conclusion that the Belgian
government pays an export bounty on
sugar, and a decision to this efleet may
be * xpeet, ,1 in a short, taw*.
Tlie additional duties will apply from
Sept* mi>, r 22d, last, tlie date of th** circular
instructing collectors to suspend i quid i tion
of these sugar entries pending ;i final de
termination of the que.-.t ion. The amount
of raw sugar imported from the Nether
lands dur ng tin- last year was over 55.000,-
<**,o pounds, of which about 25..'< l fiJ"'O was
not above No. IG Dutch standard, and <12,-
